Does Nike hire PhDs? Engineering
I have PhD in Materials/Mechanical Engineering, with 2 yoe as a Process Engineer on semiconductors. But I’m realizing I’d really love to work for Nike in Beaverton. I’m interested in sporting goods products, and i like what i hear about the work/life balance. I feel like I’m well qualified for a job there like Test Engineer, Quality Engineer, or Process Engineer. But I’ve applied for all of these positions online and haven’t heard anything. I notice these job posting only require BS degrees, and I do realize I’d likely be taking a pay cut, but I’m fine with that. Any chance my PhD is hurting my chances for these jobs somehow? And/or are there other PhD level jobs there that are not currently posted? Generally, any advice on getting my applications at Nike noticed?
Which Uni you got your PhD from?
Cornell University. And I see on LinkedIn that they hire many from Cornell... UG’s atleast
you'll love the wlb for sure.
Are you an engineer with Nike?
Yes you are qualified and I imagine all on the threads are. Nike’s hiring process is just terrible. Also it’s never guarantee the best talents (engineering) we choose. It’s a very special place. Good luck!
Why Nike? Why not FAANG?
Two major factors: 1. I’m just really interested in sporting goods. 2. I currently live in Beaverton, I like it here, and Nike is here
Sounds good 👌
